Team News Southampton defender Luke Shaw is a doubt for Sunday's game against Swansea through illness.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino is due to assess Shaw on Saturday before deciding whether the left-back will play any part in the game at St Mary's Stadium.

The Saints boss has no other injury concerns as he goes in search of a third successive win.

Swansea captain Ashley Williams is set to miss a fourth successive game when the Welsh club travel to face Southampton on Sunday.

The Wales defender has an ankle ligament injury, meaning Jordi Amat and Chico Flores will continue to form a partnership at centre-half.

Full-back Angel Rangel is closing in on a return from an ankle injury of his own, but Pablo Hernández's hamstring may not be risked by manager Michael Laudrup.

Match Notes Southampton’s impressive defensive record was strengthened by another clean sheet in last weekend’s victory over Crystal Palace – a win that briefly took them up to fourth place - and Mauricio Pochettino’s side have now conceded just two goals in six league games.

Swansea were in European action on Thursday but Michael Laudrup’s side have so far coped well, recording victories in the wake of their two previous Europa League fixtures.

Betting: Home 21-20, Away 13-5, Draw 12-5.

Stat of the game: There have been only seven goals in six Premier League games involving Southampton, a division low.
